Knowing a Poem

We Can – Michael Rosen

We can do what a bumblebee does
Buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz
We can do what brown cows do
Moo moo moo, moo moo moo
We can talk like parrots talk
Squawk squawk squawk, squawk squawk squawk
We can sing like doorbells sing
Ring ring ring, ring ring ring
We can hoot like cars hoot
Toot toot toot, toot toot toot
We can wash like you wash
Splosh splosh splosh, splosh splosh splosh
We can grumble like teddies grumble
Mumble mumble mumble, mumble mumble mumble

This poem really tunes children into the different sounds around them. What other sounds can you make together?

What, Why, Wonder

Dig Dig Digging by Margaret Mayo

A brilliant non-narrative book showcasing a multitude of vehicle vocabulary whilst also exploring rhythm and repeated words & sounds.

5 Books we love

 A book of simple and fun rhymes to say and play with! These rhymes encourage action, sounds, play and lots of laughter. Perfect to add props in too.

This book is full of learning with great pictures that bring it to life. Listeners and readers can get involved in the predictable rhymes on every page. It is funny, joyful and uplifting.

 This book is crammed full of poems to listen to, join in with and learn by heart. Michael Rosen teaches us to play with sounds, rhymes and words with poems that make us smile and spark ideas about the world around us.

This is a master class in playing around with sounds. It is fun and interactive. Use rhythm sticks to make it even better and collaborate as a group to join in the Tanka Tanka beat!
